So today's effort was put into constructing point 4. I spent a little over one hour 40 minutes building and now as I know what I need and the order in which it goes I am speeding up a bit but still taking time to get things wrong I feel a lot more comfortable building things up now.
After a trip to BnQ today with a friend who has a car I got an off cut of thick MDF which I thought would make an excellent surface for point building but didnt reckon on the pritt stick gluing the template so thoroughly to this flat surface, hmmm maybe glass IS what is needed now have to go on the hunt for a scrap of that then.
I am still not happy with my efforts in the frog and wing rail areas and need to tighten up my work here although I find it hard to get the gauges in the right places to be able to solder things. Possibly a triangular gauge would be better. Anyway practice makes perfect.
I have run a standard Grafar Mineral Wagon through it as various stages and am amazed that it runs rather well considering. I just have to build the Association wagon kit now to test tolerances and then wire it up and put a loco through..
Anyway onwards and upwards to a curved point.
... and finally, just thought I would put all my efforts together
